a soft lighting study courtesy of a c1933 issue of Camera Craft magazine<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. An unidentified writer (our editor?) said in a prelude to the article “Wither Soft Light of the 1930s …”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been perplexed for years by certain lighting of nudes during the pictorial period. I don\u2019t make any great study of nudes but such pictures, as per the sample, urge me to question of HOW WAS IT DONE?<\/p>\n

“I know it must be flat lighting but it looks like some special effect has been applied to the image such as the sabattier<\/a> process.<\/p>\n

“I was trolling through a newly acquired copy of a 1933 issue of Camera Craft magazine<\/a> when suddenly I was confronted with another example of this technique. And to my joy the author of the accompanying article, Fred P. Peel, ARPS, explained the whole process of his \u201cShadowless Lighting.\u201d”.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has enjoyed Crime Scene TV (like the CSI series) have seen photos of the body taken wth a ring flash around the lens to create “shadowless” lighting.
